Seems like every rookie balled out tonight - Barnes, Mobley, Cade, Giddey, & Duarte. (Hoping to add Wagner to this list by the end of the night)
Ya love to see it!

Mobley/Barnes/Cade/Wagner/Giddey, this class seems super strong at the top already
I would guess that is going to be the all rookie 1st team by the end of the season

Man, that's a lineup right there. Bring back the Rookie-sophomore game, I want to see all 5 guys on the floor at once.

when cade finally gets the keys 100% to the offense he's going to take off. he tries to play such a team game but when he decides to go into iso mode he's been pretty deadly.
you almost wish he'd flip that switch more often with how ugly the pistons offense is when other players try to create/score.

This does not promote conversation. Poor taste. There is always room for argument/discussion.CptCrunch wrote:Anyone who doesn't have Mobley as the ROY at this point is either willfully ignorant or a casual with no understanding of basketball.

If Cade was an explosive athlete he'd be insanely good. I think he will struggle with consistency because he relies on making difficult shots but hes so good at just playing basketball.

You're the one that's ignorant for this comment.
Barnes vs. Mobley is still very much a conversation at this stage for ROTY.

If he were an explosive athlete it's very likely he wouldn't have developed all of the skills that make him as good as he is, so there's a big trade off there.
I don't really think he relies on making difficult shots for a guy who manufactures most of his own shots. If anything, he makes it look easy. Especially when he's getting into his little floater, mid-range pull up, and baby-hook game. It looks like he's out there casually running through drills.

If Mobley stays healthy he'll win ROY by a landslide. He's like a 20-year-old Tim Duncan.

Yeah there's no denying it, Mobley's it.
If you don't see that, you're not watching. There's something young Duncan-ish about his impact.

That clutch gene starting at 0:40
Manufactured shots out of nothing on 4 straight possessions in the last 3 minutes of OT.

I think the best plan moving forward is to bulk up a little and play a little more bully ball in order to get to the ft line with regularity. It seems to be the best route for scorers who may lack a little explosiveness. This could help mitigate some consistency issues in games where the jumpshot isn't falling

Why do I get Jerry Krause vibes from Steve Kerr. He somehow thinks he is the reason behind the warriors success.
Dude does his best job to ice Curry.

Wagner solid again with 19/6/4. 7/7 from the line and 2-2 from three.
18/3/4 for Davion Mitchell who looked really solid, his mid-range was automatic.

Don't bother with him. We all know who he has postered all over his room and electronics.

Yeah Wagner is gonna be awesome. I wish the Cavs could've found a way to get him lol. He'd fit here on the wing so perfectly.

Don't be greedy now!
Although Markkanen is decent, that would be sick to see. He already has a good connection with WCJ and he's not some super athlete so a big wing that can throw lobs to Mobley/Allen and be efficient would be unfair for your team.
